Help! KST handle bars.
Looking for this group help to put a decision to rest.
I have narrowed down my handlebar upgrade to KST straight jacket or renegade. Debating between those. They seem to have same pullback so hand position should be the same.
my question is more about height. I’m looking for something about 3” higher than the RKS stock. I can’t seem to find accurate specs on the stock.
Any suggestion? Thinking either 12” or 14” as max.
for what it’s worth I’m considering renegade but always like the classical look of the straight jacket.

See if this link helps you. For what it's worth I'm 6'3" and have 12" bars but could stand 14".

thanks Cornpipe. Video was very simple and helpful but can’t find anywhere what stock height is so I can add 3 inches to it. He sure makes me lean towards 14” vs 12” as he take the worry out of going higher. I think I may go with 14” as stock cables will work. Same wire extension needed for 12 or 14”.

I'm 5'11" - I put on 14" bars from Fat Baggers Inc and they are perfect for me.
I needed wiring extensions for controls and a clutch extension for my 2021 RKS.
There was no need for a brake line extension.

I originally put on some KST Spearhead 10" on my 2020 RKS but could never get the adjustment where I was comfortable. So I went with some 12" Straight Jackets and just had to get the electrical extensions. If you contact KST they'll answer any questions on what you need. If I went to 14's I'd also have to get the Clutch and Brake lines longer as well. I'm 6'1" and also installed the Lepera Maverick Daddy Long Legs which really made the positioning better since coming from a Roadglide Special the RKS felt a bit cramped. I should've done the Straight Jackets right off but I'm very happy with them.
